I made a contribution to thank the school for considering an initiative to increase the arts in the Brandon Valley school district. It was requested I draw a cartoon portrait of each school board member. Fun artistic challenge.

This was a fun logo I did for a place here in South Dakota. The first idea parodied Charlie Sheen's movie poster for Hot Shots. Every time I see it I laugh. I think the caricature of Charlie captured the likeness well. We made another logo using a caricature of a family member to avoid any conflicts from using a likeness of a famous person.

Friday night while Larissa was working and kids sleeping I had some fun and offered to draw a caricature/portrait to whoever was awake and wanted one. I love the challenge of capturing a likeness in a drawing. It can be a difficult problem to solve. I am not as good or fast as I'd like to be. But it is always nice to share art with friends that appreciate it. Here are the results from the marathon drawing night. Hope to do it again sometime soon. Thanks to the brave models!

Sketchbook Pro 7 has a 'flipbook' feature available in the software. I did a self portrait caricature that I ended up animating a laugh. It was fun but does take a lot for me to focus on such a long process. And it was only 5 frames! LOL!

During a Salvation Army meeting I doodled some winter clothes while we were planning our Share the Warmth coat drive. I put it into Photoshop repeated the design and added some color. It made for a perfect background for our letterhead!
